Treatment Plan

Herbicide treatments will occur in various locations along paved trails throughout Hugo.  It will take up to two weeks for application.  Signs will be placed at treated areas to alert trail users to the willow control efforts.  The herbicides dry in a short time and it is best to avoid skin contact with treated vegetation until it has dried.  

After application, the vegetation will die off and "brown".  After 30 days of browning, the vegetation will be mowed and trimmed.  

Additional willow tree removal is likely to occur in the winter to remove trees in targeted areas that were too large to be treated with herbicides.
